A method includes determining, by a computing device of a storage network, a pillar width to decode threshold ratio of a dispersed storage error encoding function based on routing path performance information of a set of routing paths with respect to a set of storage units of the storage network. The method further includes dispersed storage error encoding a data object in accordance with the pillar width to decode threshold ratio to produce a plurality of sets of encoded data slices. The method further includes sending the plurality of sets of encoded data slices to the set of storage units via the set of routing paths for storage therein.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the modifying the set of routing paths comprises removing a routing path from the set of routing paths to produce an updated set of routing paths.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein the modifying the set of routing paths comprises adding a new routing path to the set of routing paths to produce an updated set of routing paths.
19. The computing device of claim 18, wherein the processing module is operable to modify the set of routing paths by removing a routing path from the set of routing paths to produce an updated set of routing paths.
20. The computing device of claim 18, wherein the processing module is operable to modify the set of routing paths by adding a new routing path to the set of routing paths to produce an updated set of routing paths.
